The affidavit says Miller refused to leave the shed and refused to put down the gun. The Lewis and Clark Co. Sheriff’s Office called in the Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) to arrest Miller.

Police records say when the SWAT Team was attempting to arrest Miller he fired two shots through the top of the shed. The affidavit says Miller was arrested just before midnight.

During an interview with deputies, the alleged victim said Miller had grabbed her by the wrists, threw her to the ground and strangled her until she backed out. Police documents say the investigating deputy observed bruising on the woman’s wrists and neck.
